I was driving the other day and found myself stuck idling at 2,000 rpm everytime i came to a stop. Any explanations? it did it for about half an hour and then hasnt done it again since.
Thanks in advance for any help! -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

Could be a vacuum leak, get some carb cleaner and spray it around your intake, if your idle suddenly goes up then that's your leak.

No, Dr. Tweak recommended spraying carb cleaner around the intake because as soon as it hits the vacuum leak it will get into the combustion process and make the idle jump. If no vacuum leaks are found, my recommendation would be to take the IAC off and clean it with a carb cleaner. Just spraying around the intake isn't going to affect the IAC at all unless you spray it directly into the IAC intake passage. -------------------- |
